The Baltimore Ravens take on the Houston Texans December 25th, 2024 at NRG Stadium at 4:30 pm
The Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans are set for a Christmas Day clash at NRG Stadium. Both teams enter this matchup with identical 9-5 records, but the Ravens boast a stronger recent performance against the spread (ATS) at 10-3 compared to the Texans’ 6-6. Lamar Jackson’s dynamic play has been pivotal for the Ravens, with impressive stats of 3,580 passing yards, 34 touchdowns, and only 3 interceptions. Additionally, Derrick Henry’s powerful presence in the backfield, amassing 1,474 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns, adds another layer of threat to Baltimore’s offense. The Texans, led by rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud, have shown resilience with 3,248 passing yards and 17 touchdowns, but their offense may struggle against Baltimore’s more efficient defense. Houston’s injury list is concerning, especially with key players like Stefon Diggs and Jalen Pitre sidelined for the season. This could limit their offensive explosiveness and defensive reliability. Meanwhile, Baltimore’s injury concerns are less impactful, with most key offensive players available. The Ravens’ balanced attack and superior efficiency on both sides of the ball make them a formidable opponent. Given the Texans’ injury woes and the Ravens’ solid form, Baltimore is well-positioned to cover the spread in this matchup.
